- 12 - AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM FOR TASK-PERFORMING DEVICE ABSTRACT An automatic control system for controlling the position and orientation of a task-performing device, such as a closed-cycdle paint stripping head, relative to an irregular surface area, such as a fuselage of an aircraft, as the device is displaced over the overface. The control system comprises a support for the task- performing device secured to a boom having articulated couplings to displace the boom on at least two trans- verse pivot connections to orient same relative to the support as the device is displaced over the irregular surface area. Sensors are integrated in connectors for the head to sense the relative position of the support, and to transmit information signals indicative thereof to a control device which, in turn, generates control signals to motors to actuate the displacement of the boom to maintain the support in constant relationship to the boom area regardless of changes in the orienta- tion or shape of the surface area over which the tool is being displaced.
